ABOARD THE NORWEGIAN BREAKAWAY - What's it like on Norwegian Cruise Line's newest ship, the Norwegian Breakaway? See for yourself with a scroll through our new massive photo tour of the 4,028-passenger vessel, live from its first sailing.

Regular readers will recall that Breakaway was named in a contest held here at USA TODAY's online cruise site, the Cruise Log, and we're getting a sneak peek at the vessel this week as it works its way from the German shipyard where it was built to its future home in New York.

As you'll see in the photo tour, the 146,600-ton Breakaway has all the trappings of a major megaresort, including a wide variety of nightspots and restaurants. Entertainment on the ship includes three shows that have played on Broadway, and its top decks feature a sprawling fun zone with five water slides.
